Ye Olde Physical CD!

Way back in the dark ages, people used to buy these things called Compact Discs (CD's). See, in the prehistoric era there were these things called LP's (Large Pupils) that played music when you stabbed it in the eye with a needle and rotated it. Eventually, they figured out how to make lasers do it, which was more efficient, and thus were able to make them compact.

At this level, you get all previous rewards and we will mail you a CD of our choice. It'll probably be a different Chris Opperman album, but no guarantees.

[If you already have all of Chris's albums and pick this option, let us know, and we'll definitely send you something very random.]

Musical Nameplate!

[Early adopters only - Will be made available at a higher price once sold out]

Chris will compose a very short (and likely bizarre) original melody based on your name or the name of your business. This will include a print-out and .PDF that you can use to make a logo or letterhead along with a MIDI file that can be used as your ringtone.

...or Ride to Adventure

In addition to all the prior rewards, Opperman will compose and dedicate to you a one-to-two page solo piece for an instrument of your choice on a topic of your choice. You can choose between four difficulties: beginner, intermediate, advanced, or bonkers.

(This is limited to 20 and will not be offered at a higher price if sold out).

Upgrade Our Sounds!

While we are happy with the vast majority of the sounds we are currently using and are endeavoring to make them sound as close to actual humans as possible, we could use higher quality solo string samples.

At this level, you will have single-handedly decided to make that a reality! Your contribution will have a direct and immediate effect on this project and future projects we decide to do.

In exchange for that, you will receive a fairly large Opperman original abstract painting called "Le Jazz," as well as all the rewards from the $1 - $111 tiers. The painting isn't finished but we would be happy to show you an in progress photo if this is something you are seriously interested in.

[NOTE: We will contact you when it is time to ship the painting about additional shipping charges + insurance. Thanks for understanding!].

Let's Get Physical!

If you choose this, we will not only print physical CD's, but we will send them to every backer who has pledged $25 or more at no extra charge to them.

I have to admit that I have nostalgia for the good old days when I used to personally mail all the CD's to the lovely people around the world who ordered them and will enjoy doing it again. Each CD will have your real or fake personal or business name printed on the back (keep it clean) thanking you for doing this.

This is the most altruistic reward since you'll be giving presents to lots of people! You will also get all the rewards from the $1 - $333 tiers plus many random things. We will hook you up.

Bizarro World!

Choosing this reward will allow us to produce a note perfect studio recording of Opperman's mini-operetta "Tales from the Bizarro World," a parody about what "good music" is. The work was debuted by Ekmeles and had other great performances by C4: The Choral Composer/Conductor Collective!

The recording will be released as a single and every backer at the $10+ range will receive a high-res .WAV file.

You will be credited as the Executive Producer of the recording and will be welcome to observe the recording session somewhere in NYC (hotels/transportation not included).

If you are seriously considering this, Chris will be happy to send you a demo and .PDF copy of the score.

Furthermore, in Summer 2020, Chris will compose a short (4-6 minute) original work for up to four instruments of your choice (within reason), which will be dedicated to you and included on a (hopeful) future release.

You will also receive all the rewards from $1 - $333 tiers and many random things.
